A certain peace

Some of the finer restaurants in NYC now employ people for six hours daily to - get this : hand cut ice blocks into 1.5-inch cubes for those $12-18 pours. Most ice machines turn out ice formed like doughnuts, or a disk cut in half (like a smile). There is, reportedly, too much surface area and too much water to alter the flavor of higher priced whiskey and bourbon.
